#That Malicious Age

[starry-bi-sky]

Hello!! Question about clone^2, what are the styles of Danny and Damian? Like day to day stuff for example. Does Danny buy Damian the traditional 8 yr old clothes (dinosaurs with sunglasses tees, stuff like that) or does Damian already have a style he likes? And Danny! I know that Sam gives Danny various punk hairstyles and that he prefers gender neutral stuff but outside of that what would Danny wear in general?

You don’t have to answer of course, but I’ll give you a thank you in advance!

- kindest regards, Gas Can

I LOVE GETTING ASKS NO WORRIES MY GUY. AS MY FAVORITE SAYING GOES 'THE QUICKEST WAY TO STARRY'S HEART IS THROUGH HER ASK BOX'.

And I love this question, this is a good one!! If damian's 8 then he's been around the fenton house for about a year or so. I can't see baby dames ever willingly wearing traditional child-like clothes, at least not in the beginning when he first arrives at the Fenton house. Which he'd be around 6-7.

Danny tells him (with the help of google translate) that he's going shopping to buy him new clothes sometime during Damian's early stay since the little man had been wearing the same clothes he arrived in for a while (which you can find here with the reblog of the colored version) and honestly he probably asks damian if he wants to come along to pick something out. he doesn't know the kid's style and it might be a bad idea because damian might make a run for it, but danny's caught him before at this point.

(plus he'll need help carrying bags - his hands are freshly injured and still smarting. they're not as bad as they will be in the future, but hand injuries hurt. consider it repayment for being the cause of it, damian)

And early Damian would choose clothes that remind him most of the league - so dark colors, more formal styles, think like how you'd imagine his original template to dress like, if you will. Danny is side-eyeing him in judgy bewilderment, but says nothing other than to complain about the price tag. Of which Damian has no idea what he's saying. He'd stick with those clothes until he has his little moment with Danny in the OPS Center where he finally tells him he's a clone (even though Danny already knows) and that he doesn't want to go back. After that he'd reluctantly and steadily start branching out.

So eight year old Damian, whose begun to chill out more and act more like a child his age would? I don't think he'd ever wear graphic t-shirts about kids shows, but I can see him wearing graphic tees of like, animal facts on it, animals, stars, etc etc, and then plain shirts in a variety of increasing color. I have this mental image that Danny buys Damian one of those joke shirts that says "bro I'm 8" / "this is what an awesome eight year old looks like" (with two thumbs pointing at itself) and Damian wears it to school a week later. Damian's variety of shirts increases the more comfortable he gets and the more he comes into his own identity.

Damian also, steadily, keeps stealing Danny's flannels even if they're almost comically large on him. They're comfy and he's embracing his role as baby brother (and also he really looks up to him because he understands, to an extent, of what danny's done for him). Danny and the Fentons start buying Damian his own after a while because, well, he can't keep taking Danny's.

And Danny! I'm so glad you mentioned Danny, my favorite GNC boy. I keep forgetting myself sometimes that I gave him long hair, even if it is my favorite thing about him. And honestly? Danny doesn't really do much with his hair if Sam isn't styling it. He usually lets it stay down on his head, and then pulls it back into a ponytail or a half-ponytail at school depending on what he's doing (gym vs a test).

He keeps it in a ponytail as phantom to keep it out of his face, and then when he's working on a Ghost Case he sometimes has it up in a (messy™) bun because the feeling of having his hair on his neck when its in a ponytail drives him nuts, especially when sleep deprived. Sam teaches him how to braid it back into a simple braid and its become a new fidget for him to braid his hair and then unbraid it. It's easier to keep off his face than a ponytail, so he sometimes braids it back when he's sneaking out as phantom. It happens more often once he gets skilled at it.

And danny's style! I know you probably only meant his hairstyle, but I also wanna talk about his aesthetic! He doesn't really put much into his appearance. Very teenager-y boy 'threw on the first thing i saw on a hanger/floor' type, but he kinda has a bit more of a casual, soft grungy-like look as an older teen. Just some hints of Sam's influence - and you know what, some of Tucker's as well because that's his best friend too.

(Off topic but 19yo Danny from my Childhood Friends Dead On Main au has a similar style that's a bit soft punk as well, and that is somewhat more intentional on CFAU Danny's part. Why make an au if I can't play dress up with my favorite character? :))

Mostly because I read a Spider-Man x DP fic that described Danny (from an outsider's pov) as looking kinda like a skater boy who listens to alt rock music and it's been my personal interpretation of him ever since. So he has band tees, flannels, graphic tees with jokes on them, shirts with astronomy facts on them, and idk if he'd ever buy ripped jeans but Sam has certainly bought him some and they fit so *shrugs* he wears them. And he has one or two of those denim jackets with the hoodie sewn inside it. And from Tucker he has a few turtlenecks because Tucker reads as a turtleneck-kinda guy, geek chic-ish.

This passage is sometimes slightly misread, but I think it's significant:

As for myself [Darcy], it is many, many years since I first began to think of him [Wickham] in a very different manner. The vicious propensities, the want of principle, which he [Wickham] was careful to guard from the knowledge of his best friend [Darcy's father], could not escape the observation of a young man of nearly the same age with himself

That is, the "himself" in the last line is Wickham and the young man of nearly the same age with him is the now twenty-eight-year-old Darcy.

Every time I think of that detail in conjunction with Wickham preying on fifteen-year-old Georgiana and, a year later, sixteen-year-old Lydia ... whew. He'd be a shitheel anyway, but however he may present himself, he's in fact a nearly thirty-year-old shitheel who repeatedly targets girls in their mid-teens.

#anghraine babbles #austen blogging #pride and prejudice #george wickham #fitzwilliam darcy #jane austen #it's important imo that the big age gap between georgiana and darcy that makes her so deferential #is the same as with wickham! when he was playing with her in her early childhood he was nearly an adult #maybe not doing so maliciously or creepily at the time but they were never remotely peers #and lydia is so very much an immature kid really #which is wickham's preference i guess #and yes i know he maybe suggests he's younger but a) i think it's pretty ambiguous and b) consider the source

Morrigan's comment towards Alistair, the "So you have finally decided to rejoin us, have you? Falling on your blade in grief seemed like too much trouble, I take it?" is such an objectively nasty thing to say but also. Also!! This is Flemeth. This is Flemeth's brand of "humor". These are the only jokes Morrigan has ever been exposed to and the TONE SHE USES HERE!!! Morrigan I love and appreciate your attempts at bantering please please let me give you a crash course in jokes that will make everybody laugh

#i love her your honor #i am 90% sure she isn't being intentionally malicious in that particular comment #the 10% unsure is because she doesn't snap back when alistair lashes out in response #but BOY did i hear flemeth in there #''last i checked you had ears girl'' #flemeth is 100% the kind of parent to say ''so you have finally rejoined us'' in that mocking tone of hers #dragon age #dao #morrigan #no wonder she gets irritated when you rebuke her. she's just messing around! everybody is so sensitive! they should all grow a tougher hide #*like she did!

why did no one tell me that the last unicorn is metal af.

like,

#the last unicorn #feeling crazy right now #i thought this was going to be like. PTA-mom-approved coming of age story about a unicorn who gets turned into a princess and falls in love #this is absolutely not what i was expecting and i'm delighted #i love how the harpy is set up as this horrible malicious entity who the sweet kind unicorn must escape before it gets free #but no! as the unicorn says ''oh‚ you are like me!'' #and leaps for joy to see the harpy set free to take bloody revenge on its captors #you are like me. i am like you. we are both forces of nature that are the reckoning of all that attempt to contain us. #the unicorn is immortal. do not run from anything immortal.

reminder to newcomers that if your blog has no posts, no profile picture, no header, and your blog colors aren't changed, i and most other people will take that as you being a bot and will block and report you as spam if you follow us. go to your profile and click the little paint pallette and give your blog a makeover real quick or if that's too much just change your blog title to something like "not a bot". i really recommend the makeover though because that's much more fun even if you don't want to reblog and you're just here to lurk.

#and if newcomers see this: we had a huge bot influx in december-ish where a lot of us were having up to a dozen bots following us in a day #it took ages for it to settle down but for me theres only one or two a day now #and because ive seen people arguing for leaving their bot followers: follower count doesnt matter in the slightest on tumblr #no one can see the numbers and it doesnt boost your posts. all leaving the bots does is possibly let them spam your posts #with malicious links. they do nothing and thats why we block and report them and when you leave your blog completely empty #that just makes you indistinguishable from a bot when you follow someone and your blog may eventually be deleted if its reported enough. #im saying all this because i think im ending up blocking quite a few humans lately and i dont want to block real people #come join the party but theres just one rule: you HAVE to show signs of humanity. even if its just a simple ''not a bot'' in your bio.

i adore cardcaptor sakura and i always will, but i still find some of the decisions in it so bizarre.

like okay, tomoyo has a crush on sakura, cool, but why are they also second cousins? like i'm pretty sure neither of even KNOW and it doesnt have any plot significance, so why are they second cousins?? i know some people don't consider that distant of being related to really matter, but like,,,, clamp didn't HAVE to write it that way. so why did they???

#tara says stuff #cardcaptor sakura #ccs #clamp #sakura kinomoto #tomoyo daidouji #i tend to be kind of lenient on clamp bc its made up of all women #and i think these types of Things (for lack of a better word) manifest differently in women than they do w men #and i feel that way w clamp especially since-- as far as i know-- anything like uncomfy age gaps that are seen as fine in the narrative #always have the female character as what we'd consider the victim of the situation #for example sakura's mom and dad being a younger woman and older man #or sakura's girl classmate and the teacher #obviously that doesnt mean these things are good. like at all #but i dont think they mean anything intentionally malicious by it #i would feel much differently if the genders or roles were switched #but as it is i dont feel like saying clamp is immoral or something is exactly the most well thought out position to have

my coffeeshop of employ is inexplicably sports-themed, but managed to hire like 95% queers who don’t like sports

so we’re all coming up with ways to be in dress code (sports-themed or coffee-themed is the only written requirement) without buying expensive sports merch. a list of my favorites thus far:

1. black t-shirt with ‘coffee’ printed in black lettering, utterly unidentifiable to anyone not six inches away

2. white t-shirt with ‘Irish rugby’ printed in the middle of the chest

3. vintage 90s looney tunes baseball sweatshirt

4. space jam jersey (with short-sleeved t under, because health code)

5. local ping-pong tournament shirt

6. bike week merch

#personal #text post #cash’s coffeeshop au #malicious compliance #I have a shirt with Kermit Thee Frog skateboarding that reads ‘the vibe is in shambles’ en route #it’s literally just that our owner likes baseball #the theme makes no sense #our merch also features the number 33 on everything which is apparently related to Rolling Rock (his favorite beer) #but that’s such a stupid explanation #so I just tell customers that’s his age #he’s like 45 or something idk

My first foray into animation! I was originally gonna make this much longer, but due to the severe discourse in the Bendy fandom at the moment, and the sheer toxicity being dumped onto people to the point they are up and leaving not just the fandom, but the internet itself... I wished to finish what I had in the hope of being a gentle reminder that hate begets hate: a vicious Cycle that can’t be broken without reaching out with compassion and love instead. A little kindness goes a long way, you know?

#bendy #bendy the demon #audrey drew #animation #gif #major spoilers #bendy and the dark revival #my art #this took ages #now to let my body recover from the strain from many one-nighters and living on tea #also on twitter but the bird destroys gifs maliciously

hi. i would like to learn more about your ocs :-)

omg hi silas :^)

taking the opportunity to talk about my jjk oc that i haven’t drawn in forever (that i’ll hopefully draw for funguary), kei takeuchi

kei is a grade 2 sorcerer, goes to the kyoto school, and is in their fourth year, so did not participate in the goodwill event.

they did go, though, bc they had heard about yuuji and wanted to meet this statistical miracle (since what are the chances that the person that eats one of sukuna’s fingers has the capacity to be his vessel 💀)

they did hear that yuuji died so did not bring any talismans (but came for the chance to go into inner city tokyo) so when yuuji turned out to be alive they didn’t have anything to give 🫠 yuuji later received a ‘mysterious’ gift in the mail from them

kei’s cursed technique is called inky cap! they have alcoholic blood, which is the fuel for the mushrooms they conjure. they work similarly to real life inky cap mushrooms/tippler’s bane, but can be more potent, especially if they drink alcohol. overuse of the technique causes an inky like substance to ooze out of the eyes, and contributes to the stress indicated in their hair. in the takeuchi family, the color of the hair is an indicator of their health. lighter is better, and fully dark hair is an omen for incoming death. kei’s technique advances the dark color of their hair upwards, as does any excessive straining or traumatic event. as a result, they don’t know if they could develop a domain expansion and don’t want to try (if they did have one tho it would be called extant form of life /ref)

in contrast, their older sister nao was born sickly with dark hair, but her hair has gotten lighter and she has gotten stronger as she got older, especially once her cursed technique manifested. kei believes that nao is the favorite (not wrong)

because of everything related to kei’s technique and likely early death (as a sorcerer as well), they are extremely superstitious person, keeping as many auspicious items as possible, keeping a compass so they never sleep facing north, avoiding the numbers 4 and 9, and religiously keeping track of new years dreams.

while mechamaru did not want anyone from kyoto to come to shibuya aside from todo, kei and nao were already there for a halloween party, so they both responded to the same call and jumped in to help, separating somewhat early on. nao was unfortunately in the direction of sukuna’s cleave and kei pushed themselves so post shibuya, kei uses a cane and nao is missing. (they find each other in time for the killing game :^) )

#lakimusings #gari answers #gari’s ocs #mutual chatter #jjk #why tf did i write their name like that #it’s 茸内慧 #takeuchi kei #kei does not like gojo. sad! #they also received a comb as a gift once and it ruined their whole month #when todo asked them about their type they said non sorcerers 💀 #the second answer was ‘strong people with cute smiles’ but nobody knows if kei was joking originally #nao loves kei! #while nao appears angelic but can be rather malicious #this never applies to kei #she’s very aware of how she’s sort of ‘losing’ what kei is ‘gaining’ and especially so with the age difference (~7 years) #downloading glaze and the assets and actually glazing this was 🫠 #tho also it was running on cpu and i am the many windows haver so i can’t be complaining like that #like i started downloading glaze yesterday but the assets download kept freezing so i had to do it today #but anyway. i’m so confused i was pretty sure i posted kei on my art blog before but nope #i’ve drawn nao and kei together as well (when nao was starting at jujutsu tech) #but i think that was also before i started my art blog so maybe that’s it #jjk is lowkey a mess rn so. idk what they’re doing rn. but i could probably figure some stuff out about the wards they went to #idt i gave kei a birthday but for now it’s august 4th #wait do anime-onlies know that the killing game is next. should i tag for spoilers

i get the frustration with so many villains now getting treatment like “oh they had a sucky childhood so actually you need to feel bad for them and not hold them accountable for their actions” but the counter of “this person was born evil and cant ever grow and its pathetic to assume that they can, also people cant be redeemed no matter what and this is fantastic writing actually” is so exhausting. 

#like... no one is born grinning maliciously with a knife out the womb. no one starts out that way #and anything thats ever tried to portray a character that way at birth has only ever been ironically funny #idk its annoying when people are like ''actually its more interesting that the character doesnt have a motive for killing people'' #like. coming off of bullet train rn but even ''this character otherwise has a perfect life but they accidentally killed and now theyre #fascinated with all the ways people can die'' is more interesting than ''idk thats just how they are *shrugs*'' #like yes someone can have the perfect upbringing and social life and still turn out to be sadistic but you can still work with that #as opposed to ''they were born evil thats just how they were always gonna be SORRY'' #like. idk go into that ''perfect social life and family''. what did that family value? what were the friends like? #what did that person experience outside of those things? what did they consume? #did their social standing actually breed some sort of entitlement to them? do they perhaps freak out if something doesnt go their way? #are they insecure deep down? does that drive them to it? are they a perfectionist? do they assume peoples feelings? #i remember reading this wc fancomic that explained why a character was evil and like her mom died #and the attention from her mothers death made her obsessed with being fawned over so she started medical abuse #and letting her patients die so that people would fawn over her the same way every time #and the op was like ''HEY before you yell at me shes NOT evil bc her mom died ok she was gonna turn out evil no matter what'' #like... no no go into the emotional vulnerability implied there. go into the morbid introduction to slow death at a young age #go into the potential desensitization go into that. youre already willing to make her multifauceted and with positive traits #why are you afraid of implying shes even SOMEWHAT sympathetic and just want to say she was gonna do that regardless #and i fault the atmosphere around this stuff most of all like we should never have implied that giving a villain a reason to be evil #was stupid woobifying bullshit that was out of touch with reality #echoed voice

Cishet people who don’t use the right language but still have their heart in the right place are infinitely more helpful to the queer community than queer people who are up to date on terminology, know all the right things to say, yet spend their time and energy on harassing and threatening others in the community

#I had to moderate a video today that at first glance looked like hate speech until I watched it a second time #it was a middle-aged cishet white guy using all the wrong language but with very good intentions #I approved his livestream in the end after thinking it over #he wasn’t malicious in the least and was clearly doing his best. I appreciate that far more than someone who weaponizes progressiveness #m.txt
